Wednesday 7/31 we had Joes charter of 4 new bucktailers. Had them out for a half day trip. They didn't like the sticky stuff too much and lost every Bucktail plus bought a ton on the boat. Couldn't keep them out of the rocks. They only managed 4 keepers.
Friday 8/2 we had some last minute cancellations and already told the boys we were going. So we only had Bob and Bill. Had our boat limit of quality fluke. Headed home early.

Saturday 8/3 We had Bruce's charter for the JCSA Fluke Tournament. Started where we have been catching big fish but there was none today. Opted to make a 1 hr 15 min ride to find a fatty. Took a while and picked one around 6. Then caught a 7. Same drift a 9. Knew we were in. Have it a bunch more drifts and that was it. Raced for the scales. Official weight was 5.9lbs, 6.8lbs and 8.8lbs. Taking 1st Place in Junior Angler(5.9lbs), 2nd Place overall(8.8lbs) and 1st Place in the 2 Fish Calcutta (15.6lbs). Finished the tournament with 20 keepers.

Sunday 8/4 we had Frank, Kevin, Bill, Mike, Ron and his wife. Tough day of catching for these guys. Had TONS of bites early just couldn't get em on the hooks. Bite died completely for hours! Finally turns and we pick a few. Mike had a nice 27" fish around 8lbs. Ended the day with only 13 keepers. The guys have it hell.

Monday 8/5 we had an afternoon bluefish charter with the boys from Brooklyn. Ohh boyyyy.... Demolished them. Had over 250 cocktail blues for the guys. The kids had a blast and they all gave up after 2 hours! Headed to the dock with our 8 man limit.
